License Verifications
To verify if an individual is licensed, you may use the License Lookup feature on this web site or contact the Board at 1-866-780-5370 or (916) 999-3600 or BPELSG.License.Verifications@dca.ca.gov.

If you are seeking licensure as a professional engineer or a professional land surveyor in another state, you may need to provide them with verification of your examination and licensure status in California. To obtain this verification, you must use the verification system available through NCEES. You will need to log in to your MyNCEES account (or create one) and then follow the directions there to provide verification to the other state. Professional geologists or professional geophysicists seeking verification must complete the Verification of Licensure or Passage of Examinations form. This form must be mailed or faxed to our Board for processing. Please allow 2-3 weeks for processing of any verification requests.
